Burkina Faso Update

Greetings Team

I, Jim and Ken the other teacher, head off to Burkina Faso to teach a motorcycle safety class to national Bible translators, Thursday AM.  We return nine days later.

We need your prayers.

Here is a list of our current needs:

We get the final touches of the motorcycle training material properly organized in our heads during our travel to Burkina Faso.

The class manuals are printed quickly once we get on site.

The motorcycles show up fully assembled and ready to use before the program starts.

All of the training equipment is available, operational and does not break down. Video projector, flip chart, markers, classroom, tables, chairs, electricity, tools, gasoline for the motorcycles, etc.

The housing and food situation for students and instructors gets fully arranged.

I have not heard of any issues, but pray that the political and social situation stays calm. The country is having elections this month.

Pray that ours and the students travel, is safe and on time.

That we stay healthy the whole time.

That jet lag is not an issue.

That we are good tools that God uses to help build new and deeper relationships between Jesus and those we come in contact with.

That Bible translation and literacy get stronger because of what we are doing.

Pray against the spiritual forces that do not want this program to happen.

That God keeps our minds and hearts fully protected and clear for what He wants to accomplish during this time.

That our wives are safe at home.

Thanks for praying

Jim
